President Bush Proclaims Sunday as National Sanctity of Human Life Day

“The most basic duty of government is to protect the life of the innocent. My administration has been committed to building a culture of life by vigorously promoting adoption and parental notification laws, opposing Federal funding for abortions overseas, encouraging teen abstinence, and funding crisis pregnancy programs.

“In 2002, I was honored to sign into law the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act … I signed legislation in 2003 to ban the cruel practice of partial-birth abortion … “Also, I was proud to sign the Unborn Victims of Violence Act in 2004.

“History tells us that with a cause rooted in our deepest principles and appealing to the best instincts of our citizens, we will prevail.”

Poignant and deeply felt words by our President who will be sorely missed.
